older JK rims?

[Gren71]

Im looking at maybe swapping out the black steelies I have on the JT at the moment. I thought they'd look better than they do...they're okay. Just sorta....plain.

I have my eyes on a set of 75th anniversary take off JK rims selling locally.

My concern is that I am far from a rim expert when it comes to measurements. I see that they are the right bolt pattern, and are still 17x7.5...but the offset and back spacing is different than the current steelies.

Will the below measurements make a stock width tire stick out?

Bolt Pattern: 5x5
Size: 17x7.5
Backspacing: 5.5
Offset: + 31.75mm
Wheel Diameter: 17
Wheel Width: 7.5

and if anyone happens to have any pictures of black JTs with bronze rims id certainly appreciate seeing them.

Oo, I've been thinking about getting these wheels as well. ???

That's only pushing the wheel out 1/2" from JT OEM.

They were not rated the same as JT rims for loads.
I ran 18” JK rims from my JK with studded winters on our GC Overland and also on Wifeys JT Rubicon last winter.
They fit fine but check what the rim is good for. There’s a thread here somewhere.

ive actually searched for that exact info and cant find it. I cant even find it when I google a couple phrases related to a rims load bearing rate.
